8. Make a Community Helper Collage
Memorial Day is also a good time to talk about helpers in the community.
Gather magazines, printed pictures, or simple drawings of people such as firefighters, police officers, doctors, nurses, and military members. Let children cut and glue pictures onto a large poster.
As you work, talk about how different helpers keep communities safe.
This activity broadens the conversation so children connect Memorial Day with service, helping others, and caring for the community.
